I'm always moving & enjoy the view as I go - (particularly architecture, landscapes, and old books). I'm a runner and a cyclist. I play jazz, but bop to dance, soul and much more - would love to hear what you're listening to/ playing/ making. I'm happily vaccinated and I believe healthcare is a human right

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

From a guest point of view: CS is an organic way to meet people and share stories, observations, music recommendations, anything really. When I have the opportunity to host: The guests of CS are fantastic repositories of history, personal perspectives, cooking tips.... there are so many reasons I am on couchsurfing!

Interests

• running
• traveling
• music

Music, Movies, and Books

I loved 'Derry Girls'; would encourage others to watch 'The Commitments' (movie) which is set in Dublin (Ireland) and also the 'Young Offenders', about two Cork boys! Recent favourite is- Perdiendo El Norte, a comedy about Spanish expats in Berlin Fiction: Reading Roberto Bolaño currently. I love fantastic realism. Short stories are a three-way tie between Cheever, Barthelme and DFW. I believe some lyrics are literature. Nonfiction: public health / medical (Paul Farmer!) / teaching / music: Miles: The Autobiography

Teach, Learn, Share

I play trumpet, trombone, flugelhorn, and can actually get a digeridoo to make sound! Do chat about favourite artists :) I'm interested in learning guitar, how to juggle (physically not metaphorically), and learning about other cultures!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to share good writing and good conversation - health / philosophy / your favorite artists, architects, musicians, writers. I am interested in how we can employ conscientious design to create social spaces conducive to better health. I want to hear your stories, share books and ideas and give you suggestions regarding your next trip (where, if it's to Ireland, I would be happy to host you)
